Iceman, Volant and the one from Focus Sport will fit. There is also another one that looks exactly like the Iceman and is sold by www.batinc.net for like $189.00. Hope this helps.

Will you please quit saying that the AEM cold air will fit on an auto.
A Newbie is going to read it and end up wasting his/her money buying one.
I know you claim you know someone that has one on an auto. But untill you show proof I don't believe you.

yeah. AEM's, just like Injen's, do NOT fit the automatic. their piping goes RIGHT where the automatic transmisison fluid dipstick is located. there realy isn't an easy way to "move" this out of the way in order to make one of these intakes fit properly. now.. the AEM short ram will fit, but not the CAI.

so we're down to this list:

Volant, K&N FIPK, Iceman, FocusSport Cool-Flo, BAT, ... i think that's it.

Everyone has to show interest in the intake and we will get it. Just like Yello_Fo_Us said if we show injen many people with auto foci want the CAI for the Auto tranny then they will make it.

I've gotta back Hi-Risk on tihs one - I did see the AEM in an auto. The yellow stick thingie was there and everything. I dunno what the dude did to make it fit, but I saw it with my own eyes... But yeah, the AEM wasn't meant for the autos.

To Injen or any other makers of CAI listening... I'm an automagic and I would love to be able to get a true CAI.

AEM does have the CAI for the magic... it's a 2-piece pipe. I just talked to someone there at AEM and he said that they redesigned their system. the new one is designed for both the auto and the manual.

my question is why are people like you so ignorant? people buy things for different reasons. you obviuosly don't have an auto, so you obviously have your reasons. those that DO have autos, obviously have their reasons. just leave it at that, and let's get back to topic, shall we?

Preach on T.J. capability to handle 270ft/lbs of input torque unmodified for one reason....I have a dream and in this dream manual and automagics race side by side down the 1320...and sometimes the automagics will win.
